I’ll bite: your team may say they are doing “domain driven design” but given from the description that they are not, you could just as well claim to be training alligators and be as correct.

However, you _are_ correct to say that DDD has a very limited use - as does the domain model pattern itself. Martin Fowler even calls this out in Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, imploring that it is necessary only when there are “complex and ever-changing business rules”. Most business systems should be multi-player Access databases, and instead have “a few sums and not-null checks”, thus should not use a domain model, thus should not use a technique aimed at designing and validating a domain model.

Honestly, I’d find a new job.
